Wheel of Fortune?

[SRS]

Greetings.

For our company Christmas party we want to play a customized version of
"Wheel Of Fortune". We want to be able to make our own puzzles so that one
puzzle will reveal the name of our Employee Of The Year.

Is there an easy way to make the puzzle in Powerpoint... or... does anyone
know of any software (not necessarily free) that would help us accomplish
this?

Thanks!

The simplest way to do this would be to set up a bunch of text boxes and
cover them with blank boxes. Have the blank boxes use animation triggers
so that when they are clicked, they trigger an exit animation of
themselves. This presupposes that you will be able to know which boxes to
click on (e.g., when someone says "R," you know where the Rs are in the
presentation). If you have a different way of inputting the letters, you
might need macros unless you have a complete letter board, and clicking
on the letter in the letter board reveals triggers the exit animation.

Thank you David...
I had forgotten about triggers. Works perfectly!
